Coventry City are now among the favourites to win League Two after a hot run of form in the fourth tier.

The Sky Blues boss Mark Robins allowed himself to take stock of the first 11 games after seeing his side record their seventh League Two win of the campaign at home to Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.

Robins believes Coventry City are "on course" for promotion this season.

City took full advantage of the off-colour visitors to inflict their fifth defeat on the trot and, in doing so, rack up their third league win in the space of eight days – the result coming as the first time they’ve strung three victories together in almost two years.

He was particularly pleased with his side’s defensive record, having kept seven clean sheets so far to firmly establish the team as the meanest in the division.

Now, this impressive shut-out record currently has seen bookies price Sky Blues at 10/1, making them fifth favourites behind Notts County, Exeter, Mansfield and favourites Luton.

A quarter of all League Two winners bets since Saturday night have gone on Coventry, more than any other team.

While it may be a tough ask to displace the 2/1 Hatters, Oddschecker spokesman George Elek said: “It is no surprise to see punters looking to sniff out some value in the League Two market, with short-priced favourites Luton only in 5th spot.

"Coventry have been a different outfit since Robins took the helm and given that they have conceded just six goals in 11 matches, quotes of 10/1 to win the league do look appealing.”
